There is a great deal of variety in Belgian food, while also reflecting the finest cuisine of its neighbours France, Germany, and the Netherlands. In Belgian cuisine, seasonal and regional ingredients are very important. Typical Belgian food includes potatoes, leeks, grey shrimp, white asparagus, Belgian endives, and is often paired with local Belgian beer. In addition to its delicious food, Belgium is also well-known for its high-quality beer, with over 300 breweries throughout the country. One of the most famous Belgium beers is the Trappist beer, which is brewed in traditional Trappist monasteries. UNESCO even inscribed Belgian beer culture on its list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity in 2016.
